Matt Varga With one of the more extensive catalogs in Nike Basketball history, Kobe Bryant kicks are no stranger to inline themes that span a slew of sneakers in his backlog. Few touch the sentimental quality of all-white, however, started with 2023’s Kobe 8 nike women mesh top tee white black Kobe 9 “Halo” & Kobe 9 Low “Halo.” In anticipation of that weighty two-pack, Beaverton unveiled an apparel collection set to match those two shoes, set to release on Bryant’s birthday.
Though all of the pieces line up with Bryant’s performance-minded wardrobe, there’s a split between lifestyle and true on-court wear. We’ll begin with the former, highlighted by an all-white Dri-Fit hoodie that showcases the overarching silver accent notes that dot the full collection. A few finer details elevate this from your typical snowy Nike apparel, including a zipper charm that reflects the iconic triangular Kobe logo.
A collared full-zip sweater mirrors similar aesthetic choices, with cream linework throughout providing a real sense of depth on the design. The Kobe logo persists as a guiding light, emblazoned produly on the chest in sized-up fashion.
Finally, a pair of basketball shorts and a jersey might be the most unconventional of the full set. Each are reversible, swapping between gersilver snakeprint on the exterior and thematic pure white inside. Either makes for an eye-catching way to tap into the legendary Mamba Mentality.
Again, all of these pieces are expected to line up with the August 23rd release of those aforementioned Nike W Air Zoom Pegasus 37 Wide Running Womens Shoes Black, the “Halo” apparel collection will likely launch directly alongside on SNKRS. Get a glimpse at the full collection just ahead.
